Signs that we care this Veterans Day At the 11th hour of this day in 1918, the Allied nations and Germany entered an armistice marking the cessation of what Congress then recognized as “the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war” since the founding of the United States. In commendation of the veterans of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that the 11th day of the 11th month be recognized as Armistice Day. However, after the record-breaking mobilization and deaths in World War II, Nov. 11 became Veterans Day — a day to pay tribute to America’s veterans of all wars. Today, we honor the tens of millions of Americans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, from the American Revolution to present day. We celebrate their love of country, applaud their willingness to serve and commemorate their numerous sacrifices in defense of the freedoms we hold dear. Most important, on this and every day, we reward the service and sacrifice of our veterans by providing health care, education and other cruc |
